Water Town Slow Life|3-Day Hangzhou Wuzhen Tour Guide 🍃, a place full of poetic charm, stroll through the ancient town, enjoy tea by West Lake, watch the Songcheng Eternal Love show, and experience the unique elegance and gentleness of Jiangnan.

🚶‍♀️Day 1: West Lake, Hangzhou
📍West Lake (Xihu District, Hangzhou): Recommended route: Broken Bridge - Bai Causeway - Gushan Hill - Su Causeway. You can take a boat to get close to the beautiful lake and mountains 🛶
When visiting West Lake, be sure to experience a lakeside teahouse, hide under the long corridor, sip a cup of Longjing tea, and gaze at the shimmering lake surface—this is the most authentic slow life in Hangzhou~
For dinner, we recommend Lou Wai Lou (No. 30 Gushan Road, Xihu District), where the classic West Lake Vinegar Fish and Dongpo Pork are must-orders!

🛏️Day 2: Songcheng Eternal Love → Wuzhen
📍Songcheng Scenic Area (No. 148 Zhijiang Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou): The large-scale song and dance show "Songcheng Eternal Love" is a must-see! It’s recommended to buy tickets for the afternoon show.
After the show, head directly to Wuzhen (about 1.5 hours by car). Stay overnight in a guesthouse inside the West Scenic Zone. Open the window to see the waterside homes, and the nighttime light show is super romantic 🌙

🍵Day 3: Slow Time in Wuzhen
📍Wuzhen West Scenic Zone (No. 18 Shifo South Road, Tongxiang City): It’s recommended to get up early to experience the ancient town without tourists. Here are some treasure shops to check out:
- Teahouse · Slow Life (inside the scenic area): Sitting by the river drinking tea and daydreaming while listening to Pingtan storytelling is so pleasant.
- Wuzhen Food Stalls (all over the streets and alleys): Traditional snacks like Ding Sheng Cake and Sister-in-law Cake are delicious no matter where you buy them.
- Wuzhen Canteen (near West Scenic Zone Visitor Center): You can eat well for about 30 RMB per person.

✨Travel Tips:
1. Staying in a guesthouse in Wuzhen Scenic Area allows unlimited entry and exit and lets you experience the tranquility of the early morning without crowds.
2. Jiangnan is rainy from March to April, remember to bring an umbrella.
3. It’s recommended to buy tickets for Songcheng Eternal Love 2 days in advance, as they sell out quickly during peak season.
4. For West Lake boat rides, it’s recommended to take a rowboat for a more authentic experience.
